NAME
       keybound - return definition of keycode

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       char * keybound(int keycode, int count);

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  an  extension to the curses library.  It permits an application to determine the string which is defined in the terminfo for spe-
       cific keycodes.

RETURN VALUE
       The keycode parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.	If it does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL is returned.
       The  count  parameter  is  used to allow the application to iterate through multiple definitions, counting from zero.  When successful, the
       function returns a string which must be freed by the caller.

PORTABILITY
       These routines are specific to ncurses.	They were not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.	It is recommended that any
       code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
